Does anyone use either Stamps.com or Endicia.com and what are the advantages and disadvantages of using either of these services.
Presently I use PayPal/post office for my mailing labels.

The advantage of using both Stamps.com and Endicia.com is that if you have any spare money you're looking to get rid of, they'll help.

I tried the multiple as well, and found it hard to use.
HOWEVER, it is great for shipping items that are non-ebay! I wasn't able to do that before the multiple item feature.

I use Stamps.com for 3yrs now and I find it simple to use and they give you everything your asking about. The cost is so low for 1 month that the price is paid for by my buyers.
I just add all my expenses into my shipping cost ... ebay fees, paypal fees, stamps.com fees are all part of my business expense.
1. With the eBay/Paypal, can you access the full detail history?........YES YOU CAN
2. Also, is there a history report of "postage purchased"?..............YES THERE IS.
3. Do you get free DELIVERY CONFIRMATION? ......YES YOU GET IT FREE WITH PRIORITY MAIL, NOT WITH FIRST CLASS/OR PARCEL
4. When deducting amount from PayPal, do you receive the 1% kickback? .....YES.....
Also if your printing a label and you have a problem with your printer and the label doesn't print you can reprint the same label with an instant credit to your account, this way you don't need to file for a refund.
You also can print stamps once you purchase the the blanks through the program from USPS.
You also can put insurance on your packages, you don't pay for the insurance at the time of label printing, it is added to your monthly cost when they bill you.
For me stamps.com works great in all ways, I have tried a few others and always come back to Stamps.com.
Maybe they give a trial period that you could try it and see if it is good for you.

Stamps also offers a referral bonus.....do a few a year and over half your monthly fees are paid for...

Only one time I needed to file for insurance and it was so easy, it was for 100.00 and I just had to send them the email from the buyer, fill out an easy form and I had pictures of the damage from the buyer so I sent that in also. Within 2 weeks my check was in my mail box. Never had it so easy filing for an insurance claim.
